Christmas Day

We had a perfect Christmas Day! The kids were sweet, so excited, we were early to church, and had a nice rest of the day opening the last presents and playing with new toys. It was quiet with just our family, but we loved it! Here are a few pics...

Here are the kids lining youngest to oldest to head down the stairs.
I love this picture because as much as Tanner was excited about all the gifts, he was so genuinely excited to show Amelia her new kitchen. He was adorable with her!




Here's Mike checking out the spy glasses, you can see behind you with the mirrored edge!







Amelia LOVES her new baby! She can be found doing this most of the day. She comes to us in whispers, telling us her baby is taking a nap. Then she'll lead you to some obscure place where baby is sleeping, with a "ganky" laid on her. So cute!
We have the tradition of our kids making a gift for each of their siblings. I love it, because it takes the focus off of what they want for Christmas, and the excitement is then about what they're giving. This was after Reid gave Tanner the notebook he modge podged for him.
This picture is classic Reid! New hat on his head, sleeping bag strapped to his back and making loops around the kitchen. Such a happy kid!
The night ended with the boys sleeping in the basement in their new sleeping bags (they've actually done this all week!). They were so cute all lined up and ready to "camp out" and Amelia was so sad when I carried her up to her crib. Such a great day!

Those glasses made me smile. We got plenty of spy gear for Christmas around here. Such a cute pic of your twinners hugging. I love twins. Twins have been worth every extra bit of work these last 6 years, just to see their friendship.
